Revision as of 12:30, 17 April 2016

As the number of production OpenStack deployments increase and more ecosystem partners add support for OpenStack clouds, it becomes increasingly important that the communities building services around OpenStack guide and influence the product evolution. The user committee's role is to represent the needs of the diverse range of OpenStack users.

The user committee mission is to:

Consolidate user requirements and present these to the management board and technical committee

Provide guidance for the development teams where user feedback is requested

Attend our fortnightly IRC meetings, alternating between times convenient for US and APAC attendees:

Next US meeting: Monday, March 14th, 2016 at 1900 UTC in (freenode) #openstack-meeting
Next APAC meeting: Wednesday, March 8th, 2016 at 0300 UTC in (freenode) #openstack-meeting
Proposed Agenda:
* Next steps for Survey analysis - Let's review where we are
* Operators recognition next steps
* Discuss where we want to take the UC and what we can change

Structure

The structure of the user committee is currently being defined. Jon Proulx, Subbu Allamaraju and Shilla Saebi have been nominated by the management board and technical committee to work with the community. This process is ongoing and your assistance is welcome - consider the following:

Working Groups and Teams

The user committee is currently looking at a structure that involves working groups to conduct specific packages of tasks. The Working Groups have a defined purpose and goal, and produce work to meet their stated aims. Working Groups will have their own leadership, which will be responsible for finding volunteers in the community to complete the work. Working Groups should be allowed to form naturally and easily where a need arises, without unnecessary bureaucratic burden. However, some controls should be enacted to ensure effort is best placed, and not duplicated, so please consider the procedure below:
